Superhistory by Agan Harahap   

Venue: ION Art Gallery 
Dates: 29 June – 8 July 
Time: 10am – 10pm Daily 
Tickets: Free Admission 

At first glance, Agan Harahap’s SUPERHISTORY appears to be a tongue‐in‐cheek look at world history: Superman  with Allied troops at the Normandy D‐Day Landings; Batman inspecting paratroopers just before they board their  airplanes to participate in the first assault in the invasion of the European continent; Darth Vader at the Meeting of  Yalta with Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin. 

By inserting Popular Culture icons into photographs of historic world events, Indonesian photographer, Agan Harahap, forces us to rethink history and the way we remember the past. Conflating historical events with fictional  characters that have become so much a part of our popular imagination onto the photographic plane, his pictures  have cleverly tricked us momentarily into believing that these characters exist and were present to witness these events.
